Double board-certified dermatologist Dr. Brendan Camp added that “a pivoting head is helpful for addressing legs, underarms and bikini areas,” and added that moisturizing strips also help blades glide more smoothly across the skin.

“When the pores become clogged with dead skin, oil, or debris and open, they’re exposed to the air, oxidize and turn dark,” explains Marisa Garshick, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist with MDCS Dermatology in New York.

Good news: You can get rid of discoloration and bumps.

Dr. Brendan Camp, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatologyrecommends specifically targets the latter with a combination of red and blue light. "Blue light is a different wavelength than red light," he says. "It penetrates the skin at a different depth and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties."

Red light therapy is an anti-aging treatment that dermatologists love, so we asked them about how it works, its benefits and what devices to try.

“This peel is built around a high 30% glycolic acid concentration, which places it at the upper end of what’s generally considered safe for at-home use. Glycolic acid at this strength can produce rapid improvements in texture, tone, and brightness,” says Dr. Noah Gratch, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology, noting that sensitive skin types or deeper complexions should proceed with caution.

Are at-home chemical peels safe? Two dermatologists and one medical aesthetician weigh in.

“Those with dry skin may not need to wash their face with a cleanser twice a day,” Dr. Brendan Camp, MD, FAAD, a double board-certified dermatologist, says. “Rinsing your face with water in the morning may be sufficient without putting your skin at risk of becoming too dry. Excessive use of a cleanser, or ingredients that remove oil like salicylic acid, can strip the skin of oil and predispose it to dryness.”

We asked two dermatologists to help us build the best skin care routine for dealing with dry skin.

According to Dr. Brendan Camp, a double board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, water, sweat or water-based skin care products can decrease its efficacy.

I tested the new version of the Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firmx Eye Temporary Eye Tightener for three weeks, and it’s now part of my daily routine.
